Why Washington sellers work with me

I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. Washington is one of the towns I work in regularly, and I know how its mix of older and rebuilt homes affects pricing.

Some people should sell first, some should buy first, and some can line the two up closely. I'll tell you what I'd do and why, and you decide.

Five Points Washington, which opened in 2007, is home to the Heartland Festival Orchestra.

What buy and sell at once looks like in Washington

East of Peoria and East Peoria, with a historic town square and Five Points Washington.

The homes
Older homes toward the center of town. After the EF4 tornado of November 17, 2013, many homes in several neighborhoods were rebuilt, so a 1950s home can sit right next to a much newer, larger one. There has also been a lot of development over the last 20 to 30 years.
Schools people ask about
Three grade-school districts (Washington District 50, Central School District 51 and Washington Grade School District 52) feed Washington Community High School District 308.
Getting around
East of Peoria and East Peoria. Heading east from Peoria you cross the Illinois River into East Peoria, then reach Washington, and Eureka sits almost in a direct line farther east.
Nearby
A historic town square with a park and fountain, specialty shops and boutiques, restaurants, a local winery and the Cornerstone Inn, a boutique hotel in a restored 19th-century bank building. Five Points Washington, a performing arts center that opened in 2007, is home to the Heartland Festival Orchestra.
